Test, 15 Yard Spools","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen you want to create necklaces or bracelets quickly and efficiently, Fireline is up to the task. This is a microfused, braided bead thread consisting of Dyneema, a gelspun polyethylene which is known as the strongest fiber, per diameter, ever created. It has an unbelievably high tensile strength and has been recommended in numerous howto articles on beadworking. Originally used in the fishing industry as a strong fishing line, the thread was adopted by the jewelry making community and has been super popular ever since. Fireline comes in 5 sizes: 2lb. test strength with a .003\/.07mm diameter, 4lb. test with a .005\/.12mm diameter, 6lb. test with a .006\/.15mm diameter, 8lb. test with a .007\/.17mm diameter, 10lb. test with a .008\/.20mm diameters and 14lb. test with a .009\/.22mm diameter. The spools come in a variety of lengths and in 3 colors: clear, black and smoke grey. For stringing and weaving we suggest English beading needles. Use a #12 for 26lb. test and a #10 for larger diameters. To finish off your Fireline jewelry your best option is a thread burner. The Beadsmith Thread Zappers are a perfect solution. You can control exactly where the heat is applied. Tie a knot to finish your project and burn the end. A small ball will form on the melted end, preventing the knot from untying.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Beadsmith","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45439986958451,"sku":"WBACSB01DE32YZS","price":24.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0643\/1958\/6419\/files\/615T6Gk2QwL.jpg?v=1788440059","url":"https:\/\/slickpurchase.com\/products\/the-beadsmith-fireline-by-berkley-microfused-braided-thread-3pack-crystal-color-4lb-6lb-8lb-test-15-yard-spools","provider":"Slickpurchase","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
